The campaign includes four posters posted all over the streets of Auckland, branded skateboards and t-shirts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Advertising is known to break taboos since before the scandalous Benetton campaigns breaking down the taboos of race, sex and politics. This campaign is now taking a stab at religion and picking on widely publicised scandals around it, such as pedophilia in the Catholic church and tele-evangelists making fortunes by commercialising religion. According to&nbsp;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_New_Zealand" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>&nbsp;church attendance in New Zealand is around 15% and it must be even lower among the young population. So, it's safe to say the campaign will not be opposed by too many down under.</p>

<div style="text-align: justify;">The number of faith schools in Britain is rising. Around 7,000 publicly-funded schools, one in three, now has a religious affiliation.&nbsp;As the coalition government paves the way for more faith-based education by promoting 'free schools', the renowned atheist and evolutionary biologist Professor Richard Dawkins says enough is enough.&nbsp;In this passionately argued film, Dawkins calls on us to reconsider the consequences of faith education, which, he argues, bamboozles parents and indoctrinates and divides children.&nbsp;The film features robust exchanges with former Secretary of State for Education Charles Clarke, Head of the Church of England Education Service Reverend Janina Ainsworth, and the Chair of the Association of Muslim Schools, Dr Mohammed Mukadam.&nbsp;It also features insights from child psychologists and key players in faith education as well as insights from both parents and pupils.&nbsp;Dawkins also draws on his own personal history as a father, arguing that the government must stop funding new faith schools, and urges society to respect a child's right to freedom of belief.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Questions of good and evil, right and wrong are commonly thought unanswerable by science. But Sam Harris argues that science can -- and should -- be an authority on moral issues, shaping human values and setting out what constitutes a good life.</p>]]></content></entry></feed>
